Trust

Hey you! This is basically our first encounter this year. A lot has already happened in the span of two weeks. I perceive an adventurous and exciting year for us all.

You know how paranoid and anxious I get but guess what? I have been evolving😹. 

You have to come to the realisation that God loves you more than you can ever love yourself. I know this sounds cliché but hold on; you already know that God loves you blah blah…, but have you ever taken the time to critically think it through that He actually loves me more than I can ever possibly love myself. So He basically “carry my matter for head”. 

Visualize this; you love yourself and you’re always stressing about what the future holds for you, striving, planning and all those stuffs you do because you want a better life for yourself. And there’s this big guy that literally created/owns the world and can basically do whatever He wants with it, He sees the end from the beginning; meaning that He knows the outcome of every path you can ever take. And the good news is that He loves you more than you can ever think of loving yourself.

So why are you anxious?

Remember I said He sees the outcome of every path at each stage of your life. And most times what you perceive with your limited human knowledge as the best decision/path might actually be bad for you at the long run, other times it might be the best for you. Because God loves you so much He would rather have you practice delayed gratification than enjoy momentary satisfaction. He wants you to reach your highest and truest potentials and you will. 

God came that we may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance to the full, till it overflows (John 10:10); meaning He does not want you to have a half baked life. So basically you ought to enjoy every season of your life, that’s the will of God for you. Realising that you actually cannot love yourself better than God, gives this confidence that no matter the season you’re in life, that God sees you and has it all figured out and you honestly don’t have to worry about nothing.

When disappointment comes, it’s simply a redirection or maybe you’re just not ready for that stage yet. The truth is if you’re given something you cannot handle, it ends up being a source of misery to you. God makes all things beautiful at His time (Ecc 3:11) just at the right time. Most times you pray for clarity and get it instantly, other times you won’t get that closure you seek. But In every situation, remember you can never love yourself better than your creator loves you. With that in your heart, it’ll be a lot easier to trust and rest in His love.  

Don’t forget to renew your mind daily with His words; it makes the process a lot seamless.

Love Kosisochi

  Some days it's a lot harder to believe that God genuinely loves you. I know it's hard to admit but when your insecurities creep in, it messes with your head, making the daily miracles in your life seem mundane. You then convince yourself that if God had answered your big prayers, these seemingly little ones would have been non-existent. I slept feeling great about myself but I woke up feeling so inadequate. I tried reading scriptures on God’s love for me but I kept seeing God’s love for “us”, “the world”, it was not personalized, I needed something to hold on to. Although I am aware that “us” referred to in the Bible technically means me but I was not having it. My mind was clouded with these thoughts “I just do not care about the world right now; I am not interested in Your love for the world but your love for me! I need You to love me and not the world. Can’t you see I need you?! Focus on me! - I am falling apart”. I have always felt scared admitting in my prayers t...

FAITH

Let’s talk about faith.  I used to believe faith is a feeling (it can be sometimes though), but whenever I don’t feel it, when it’s harder to pray because it feels like God has forgotten me and I don’t feel His presence anymore; I feel pretty much demoralized. Did you notice something in that statement? The word “feel-ing” was reoccurring. The devil creeps into our feelings and manipulates them. As much as all feelings are valid, but we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that they can still be flawed. I’ve read Hebrews 11 several times and it didn’t hit until recently. In verse 11, it says Sarah “considered” Him faithful who had made the promise. She did not care about how she felt regarding the Lord telling her she’ll be a mother after menopause but she held on to that attribute of God; a FAITHFUL God. If you move to verse 19; it says Abraham “reasoned” that God could even raise the dead, the bible never said he felt, because if he was relying on his feelings. Hmmm, if he was relyin...

Tide (Half time)

Some might call it a quarter-life crisis but the truth is this year has not been as rosy as I envisaged, I’ve had so many disappointments. I haven’t actually posted anything this year, not that I haven’t been typing but because I felt I’d be lying to myself pretending all is well and I have my shit together but the truth is I’m exploding inside. Most times I just say “fuck it, I’m done” but I see myself pushing, but It still feels like I’m not doing enough, that there should be something else (big) I should be doing. Well, today is the last day of the first half of the year (30th June), I woke up trying not to feel pity for myself (because it seems like a routine these days), decided to evaluate the last few months of my life (listed the things I am grateful for and things that didn’t seem to make so much sense to me), well I can gladly say things aren’t as bad as my head make it seem.   You know I always say to myself, “you’re kind, always willing to help out and you work so hard ...
